Hallo & Happy February!

Okay…at long last, I am finally getting around to posting some travel blogs about my travels in Greece last September. Better late than never, I guess 🙂

My friend, Lynne, and I met up in Athens then ferry hopped through some of the Greek islands…we had a BLAST! I didn’t get as much writing done as I’d hoped…but I am certainly making up for that now that I am hunkered down at home again on Vancouver Island (it’s been snowing all day!).

Without further ado, here are some fun photos of the first part of our travels in Greece:

MA & Lynne in front of the Parthenon in Athens

And how cool is this…we got to watch a play (in English!) at an outdoor theatre in Athens! And yes, that IS the Acropolis high up on the hill in the background…on a moonlit night, yet. An incredible experience 🙂

 

Theatre of Dionysus, Athens, on the south slope of Acropolis hill

 

Mmmm…Mythos & nuts 🙂 on our balcony on the island of Poros

 

Happy nut (after a Mythos or two) on Poros 🙂

 

Pretty little port on Hydra

 

Horse on Hydra…there are no motorized vehicles on Hydra (yay!)

 

Kids sharing a bag of chips on Hydra!

 

Lynne & the lamp post on Hydra (there’s the moon again!)

Love the colours of the sea (Hydra)

Thanks for reading, take care & I shall continue to post more travel blogs in the weeks to come. It’s actually a real treat for me to be able to revisit the photos from past travels, as it helps me remember all the special moments!
